    This is a super cool project and a testament to Rust’s versatility.

    @brainblasted Apple probably attempting to be a "family-friendly" firm. Founded by someone who refused to acknowledge the existence of his own daughter.

    This mess shows off a combination of the pitfalls of our current duopoly in mobile platforms and centralization.

    For those not in the loop, this afternoon Tumblr began a purge of NSFW accounts, including artists and sex workers. A considerable chunk of Tumblr is comprised of these users or people who follow these users, and use Tumblr as a primary revenue source.

    The reason people are speculating in the moment has everything to do with Apple. The theory goes that Apple has removed from the app store Tumblr for allowing users to access NSFW content. In a twist, Tumblr hides NSFW content via "Safe Mode" by default already, but that might not be enough for Apple.

    So, one of the two major vendors of their application shuts them off, and Tumblr understandably starts flailing. Multiple NSFW accounts were shut down (not just the blogs, but the attached accounts terminated too), and people take notice.

    If the mobile ecosystem were healthier, maybe this wouldn't have happened - if there was more competition, Apple wouldn't have the power to destroy another platform's users in a snap.

    Rumor has it emailing support could get you your account back if you were swept up in the purge, but after a burn like this I wouldn't trust my livelihood to Tumblr again.

    Question for pythonistas - what are the security implications of __pycache__ to be aware of? (Like, someone introducing a malicious .pyc file.)

    @thatbrickster @ayy His ashes were buried in a Pringles can. Probably the only organic ingredient they've ever had.

    @thatbrickster @ayy Well, Pringles were developed by a chemist, working for a company better known for detergents, shampoo and toothpaste. Tastes like it too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Baur

    @thatbrickster @ayy I thought Pringles were some kind of edible plastic. Certainly don't qualify as "food".

    “As evidence accumulated that Facebook’s power could also be exploited to disrupt elections, broadcast viral propaganda and inspire deadly campaigns of hate around the globe, Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg stumbled. Bent on growth, the pair ignored warning signs and then sought to conceal them from public view.”

Bent on growth, the pair ignored warning signs and then sought to conceal them from public view. At critical moments over the last three years, they were distracted by personal projects, and passed off security and policy decisions to subordinates, according to current and former e...

    Playing Policenauts again (JP version). The character designs for Jonathan and Ed are based on Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon. Because it's basically interactive fiction (mostly exploring largely static images with a point-and-click interface with an occasional shooting mini-game) it doesn't really age as badly as other games.
